Ilk Mr. Brock Bowles September 11, 2015 Page 4 shown on Map 2.04.7-9. This structure needs to be protected, in accordance with Rules 4.04(5) and (6). Response: The text on Page 3 of Section 2.05.3(3) has been changed to indicate that the 2nd Park Lateral Irrigation Ditch Pipeline location is shown on Map 2.04.7-9. The text has also been changed to include language to address how WFC will comply with Rules 4.04(5) and (6). 3) The list of roads in the first paragraph of the Haul Roads portion (Section 2.05.3(3) Page 4) does not match the roads shown on Map 2.05.3(3)-3. The map shows the NW Haul Road, but not the SE. WFUs 3/31/2014 adequacy response for TR -05 indicates that the system of haul roads may be relocated away from the perimeter of the permit area and into the pit/disturbed area. Please update the text and map to be consistent with each other. Please revise the permit when proposed changes to the haul road configurations are known. Response: The text in the first paragraph on Page 4 of Section 2.05.3(3) has been changed so the haul road names match those shown on Map 2.05.3(3)-3. When WFC decides to propose changes to the haul road configurations, they will be submitted in a subsequent revision to the PAP. 2.05.4(2)(b) — Reclamation Cost Estimate 1) The estimated reclamation costs for the New Horizon North Mine have been updated by the Division to reflect 2014 unit costs.
